Depression Never Ending Cycle!

[dlover22uk(m)]

Hi ive been taking lexipro for 5 yrs now!!! and recently tryed to come off this medication, and returned to my deep feelings of anxiety and drop in mood after about a month of stopping!. While on these pills my sex drive is not there, which inturn makes me unhappy obviously!! So after stoping this medication I was feeling my sex drive come back. Add to this a diaper fetish with which I worry about maintaining erections with normal intercourse which is all it takes to feic up my erection. Im unsure if it is due to the fetish or the lexipro my guess is a combo, but its impacting on me sterting relationships and im shying away from interaction with women. So I come full circle and that makes me depressed, how do I get out of this situation. I have been considering choices. I live in Ireland and I have found it very hard to locate a sexual therapist that caters to fetishes and I dont know if I would be able to see that through. I have considered Hypnosis and wondered has anyone else tryed this, also I have considered Viagra to give me a boost but I dont know if that would work with the low sex drive!! ahh Im just sick of it all, I like my diapers a lotttt ha, but I want balance and I feel Im struggling!

Have you tried other Meds? Sometimes that's all it takes to get the balance you need. Another thing is to embrace your feelings as a valid part of who you are What you want will hurt no one so as I see things it can't be bad Clinical Depression is a vicious cycle but most of us can find a way to get through it reasonably well- just keep trying things till you get it right. I can't offer advice on any kind of therapist but as widespread as wer are here maybe someone will share what they know with you

I agree there are many different medications to try... as for a therapist... what you are feeling is not just something people with a fetish have... you have medication side effects, couple with insecurities and anxieties all creating roadblocks for you to seek a relationship....

you do not need to seek out a sex therapist to deal with those issues, just one you feel comfortable with and able to talk with. Whoever is prescribing your lexapro, talk with them about trying a different medication, and ask them if they could recommend a therapist for you... get at least 3-4 names, because you aren't garunteed to feel comfortable with the first one.....
